Who actually sells my house – a broker or a sales representative?
Both. In legal terms, a real estate sales representative (agent or realtor) is an individual trained and licensed to act for other people looking to buy or sell a piece of property. While that definition applies to both broker and sales agent, only the broker (i.e. – RE/MAX Little Oak) is permitted to collect fees and/or commission for such work. Thus, the sales agent – with whom you have most of your day-to-day contact – works on behalf of, and is compensated by, the broker.
